clever concept. fans will not, however, keep your pop cold. It will stay at room temperature. You might be ok with that!

You could compartments on either side of those cans and fill them with icecubes. You'd obviously have to replace them quite often and make sure it's water proof. This is a simple way out of course, the more efficient way would be to use some kind of coolant system via a mini fridge.

I am in love with the concept, but I think it'd be a drag to have to take the side paneloff. Maybe a fold out slot in the front to drop more in. As for a cooling system, neather fans, nor water cooling will do it... Like Hgoale said, you'd eather have to fill the sides with ice (Talk about major side panel removal issues there ). If you're going to pursue it though, go with the minifridge idea. Just don't forget condensation Talk about a water-cooled pc Har Har pun.

after looking at the design i realized that there would be a problem with all the cans falling out when the door opened. Unless there was a way to push the door back up after one can fell out. sooo i decided to do this


if pic doesnt show up try this link

You'd have to setup a motor to start to move that level. You're idea will work to catch the above cans, however, how are you planning to hook up with a button push to start the motor? Motor setup would be the next big thing, but keeping them cool will be the hardest part, so you'll have to look into that before even building the thing.

It's kinda like in the movie "Clerks" which is funny as hell buy the way (even if it is B&W), everytime someone came in the store to buy cigarettes, they would always just ask for a pack of "smokes". Here in Nevada and in Utah too it seems it's "Soda" or "Soda Pop"...... hmm

An Idea strikes me.


Dimensions: 33"H x 30"W x 22"D
Not a lan box but fun for a permanent desk case.

DW and wow cooled too. Seal the mobo from condesation and this could be a very cool project.

Sweet idea, however why not get a (soda, pop, soda-pop, coke) dispenser and put the computer into that? I realize it would be a lot less work and less do it yourself, however, atleast it would work. Yea, I live in Minnesota and everyone calls it pop. I guess, I don't worry about it because I don't drink it. GOoD LuCk!

Yeah NY is tough if you call soda, pop, cuz people call you a crazy canadian (people from canada call it popas far as i know)

ANYWAYS......
I think your design for an integrated soda machine is very genius and i bet it'll turn out fine. who wouldn't like caffeine while play WC3 all night?

Seems that Wixx's project has everybody enthusiastic about radical modz. Cool. My next will be conventional, but classy.

By the way....we don't call it soda, pop, or coke here. We say "give me a beer."
